All eyes on New Zealand vs Pakistan 

India despite losing to Australia in thier final group stage game in the 2024 ICC Women's T20 World Cup are still the second best team in the group on the basis on better net run rate than both New Zealand and Pakistan. On Monday, India will have to hope that Pakistan beats New Zealand by nominal margin which will then tie India, Pakistan and New Zealand on four points each form games and then India will qualify for the next stage on the basis of net run rate. If Pakistan's margin of victory will be good enough to surpass India, then they will qualify for the semifinals. 

New Zealand winning the game will take them directly to the semifinals regardless of the margin of victory ending both India's and Pakistan's journey in the competition. Moreover, if by any reason New Zealand and Pakistan have to shre points on Monday, that will also take New Zealand straight to semifinals.
